I typically don't waste the time to write reviews. I have a 2 year history of using these tubes because they are sold by my LBS. Based on trying other brand tubes I would say the failure rate of these tubes are very high. On several occasions I've had them blow soon after putting in air, without any load or weight on the bike.

I'm a large person and found when installed properly, the Specialized tubes are the hardiest. Don't use them much on my Mtb since I run tubeless on most of them, but my cross bike, fixie, and road tandem, I only use Specialized.

I have had four new tires / tubes installed at Bicycle Sports shop, and these are high quality flat resistant tires. Flats on three within less than 100 miles with no apparant puncture. One had a flat before I could get it on the road !! In all cases I must conclude it is the tube.

These tubes keep on bursting on me. I have checked my rim and tire over and over again. No issues. Yet, I cannot go down a bumpy fire road (ie. not single track) without these tubes bursting. Really bizarre, as I have had other tubes last literally years. I cannot recommend a tube that does not stay inflated.

Tube size 700x20/28. I've never had a complaint about a tube until the three I purchased last week. These are the worst ever. Whether a defective batch or substandard manufacturing, the tubes never survived a single trip to work -- a 4-mile trip -- without bursting. Fortunately I had tubes left over to use without trouble that withstood the rigors of a 20 minute ride. I cannot recommend this product.
